I had to read the word Republican like 20 times before I could believe it.

It’s like raising your rent by $320 per month just to run the government this year.

They want to increase the deficit spending by $328 billion this year, up from $1,800 billion the year before. This adds to the total debt of $35,000 billion. The increase, divided by the 340 million adults and children in America comes out to $320 per month for a family of four.

The deficit, or how much we are spending above our income, is about $2,100 per month per family of four. The total national debt is about $100,000 per citizen.

The new deficit is primarily paying to allow those with multiple billions in assets to pass the wealth to future generations while still avoiding taxes.

$20 says this clip doesn’t make it to right wing media outlets snd he votes for the budget anyway.

Gotta love libertarians. They at least know how to do math.

hopefully more republicans develop a backbone like this guy. i don’t love this guy, but at least there is some independent thinking. Cannot handle the republican herd mentality of following trump.

Then they shouldn’t pass it. Kick up a fight, then they’ll do a shutdown and those mfers will be fair game - obviously I mean politically.

Talk to your Republican colleagues!!! They need to vote against this BS too.

Imagine that. A Republican who is actually fiscally conservative in this day and age.

Though I’m sure he’s playing both sides so that he can continue to keep his job or move up in the power world.

I guess it’s time for DT to pull him into a closet and give him a big dose of Kool-Aid
